I is also a very happy RP-1 owner. As other posters have noted it's nice to call up a company and get a enthusiastic person on the phone to talk about the product. I can't say much about sound details but the unit was a huge improvement over my old solid state Rotel unit.
The only knock is the light weight cheesy feeling remote, but the thing has survived repeated drops on to hardwood floor and still works fine.
I also just purchased a PS Audio S300 amp. They are just down the street from my house and going there, getting a tour of the site and meeting the owner and other friendly staff made the experience even better. Product support means so much to me.
